Durmitor Downhill Adventure 2016
Sports mountaineering club "Durmitor Adventure", with the support of the National Tourist Organization, is organizing a promotional cycling competition in Žabljak next weekend. The "Durmitor Downhill Adventure" race will be held on the well-maintained tracks of "Bike Park Štuoc", where about 30 mountain bikers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro will compete in the "Downhill" and "Enduro" mountain biking disciplines. A Free Ride bicycle race from the top of Savin kuk is planned for Sunday, where the participants will use the pedestrian path from the top, and in the second part, the truck road that snakes under the cable car "Savin kuk I", from its end to the beginning, and that with the aim of realizing this attractive discipline was supported by the management of the Tourist Center "Durmitor", which owns this ski resort.
Competition program:
This season, on August 13th and 14th, the Fullcontrol bike cycling club and the Durmitor Adventure sports club are organizing a two-day MTB adventure on Durmitor, within the Štuoc Bike Park! It is the future bike park, which is located in the immediate vicinity of Žabljak and currently contains one DH and one Enduro track. The starting position of the DH Trail is at about 1,800 meters above sea level, the length of the trail is 1.5 km, and the height difference is 250 m. Work on improving the course will continue soon, so that it will be ready by the DH weekend.
The ideas that started us to organize this event are, first of all, socializing and promoting the tracks within Bike Park Štuoc, so that the ride will not be competitive but of a show character. All participants will be provided with accommodation, food and transport from the foot of the trail to the starting location. For all those who want to extend the weekend on Durmitor, additional activities can be organized, such as going through the Nevidio Canyon, Zip Line over the Tara Canyon, ring around Durmitor - at promotional prices.
Additional note: In the same period, 70 km from Žabljak, near Nikšić, the Lake Fest is held. It is a music festival on Lake Krupac, where better and better performers perform every year. Some of the announced participants this year are: Manu Chao, Lačni Franz, Kultur Shock, Ritam Nereda, Nikola Vranjković and many others... If there is interest, we can also organize an evening trip to this festival.
